Hittin' the road

Tomorrow is the first day of my week of paid vacation. I'll be taking the High Speed Rail (woooooooooo!) south to Tainan with Kaitlin, Dean (Kaitlin's brother), and Ali. We'll chill there for a day, checking out temples and history, before continuing south to Gaoxiong via Express Train (not quite HSR, but still pretty zippy). In Gaoxiong we'll look for the magnificent water park that's supposed to be somewhere around there. We'll also catch a sunset from beautiful Cijin Island. The next day we'll bus to Donggang, from which we'll ferry to Liuqiu Island. Spend a night there, ferry back to Donggang, bus to Kenting. Spend a night (or two) in Sail Rock, bus back to Fangliao, train to Taidong, ferry to Lanyu (Orchid Island). A night or two there, and then it's back to Taipei.

Whirlwinds are us! Pictures and reports to come post facto. Godspeed and tallyho!
